Özet:

 Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the general characteristics and prophylaxis status of patients presenting to our hospital due to risky rabies exposure. Material and Methods: Patients with rabies risky animal contact admitted to our hospital between January 2018 and April 2022 were evaluated retrospectively. Results: The mean age of the 936 patients was 23.7  15.8 years. Among all patients, 66.5 n622 were male and 33.5 n314 female. The most frequently contacted animal species was dog with 54 n505 and cat with 43.4 n405. A total of 739 79 of the animals were stray. Of the injuries, 54 n505 were superficial and 46 n431 were deep. Four doses of rabies vaccine were administered to 84.7 n793 and five doses to 6.2 n58 of the patients. Human rabies immune globulin was administered to 56.8 n532 of the patients in addition to the vaccine. Of the patients, 843 90.1 presented within the first 24 hours after contact, while 93 9.9 presented after 24 hours. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of living in the city centerrural area, whether the animal was owned or not and the depth of the wound p1.000; p0.909; p0.402, respectively. Conclusion: The majority of risky rabies exposures were associated with stray animals, predominantly dogs and cats, indicating the presence of stray dog and cat problem in our country. However, it is important that patients with contact should apply to a health institution as soon as possible.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmada hastanemize kuduz riskli temas nedeni ile başvuran hastaların genel özellikleri ve profilaksi durumlarının değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ocak 2018 - Nisan 2022 tarihleri arasında hastanemize başvuran kuduz riskli hayvan teması olan hastalar retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Başvuran toplam 936 hastanın ortalama yaşı 23,7  15,8 yıl idi. Hastaların 66,5 i n622 erkek ve 33,5 i n314 kadındı. En sık temas edilen hayvan türü 54 n505 ile köpek olup ikinci sıklıkta 43,4 n405 ile kedi idi. Hayvanların 79 u n739 sahipsizdi. Yaralanmaların 505 i 54 yüzeysel ve 431 i 46 derin idi. Hastaların 84,7 sine n793 4 doz, 6,2 sine n58 5 doz kuduz aşısı uygulandı. Ayrıca hastaların 56,8 ine n532 aşıya ilaveten Human rabies immün globulin uygulandı. Hastaların 843ü 90,1 temas sonrası ilk 24 saat içinde başvurdu, 93 ü 9,9 ise 24 saatten sonra başvurdu. Her iki grup arasında şehir merkezinde  kırsal alanda yaşama, hayvanın sahipli olup olmaması ve yaranın derinliği açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık saptanmadı sırasıyla p1,000; p0,909; p0,402. Sonuç: Kuduz riskli temasların büyük çoğunluğunun sahipsiz hayvanlarla olması ve temasların çoğunun köpek ve kedi ile gerçekleşmiş olması, ülkemizde sahipsiz köpek ve kedi sorununun varlığını göstermektedir. Bununla birlikte teması olan hastaların en kısa sürede sağlık kuruluşuna başvurması önem arz etmektedir.
